More progress photos on multi-section slipcase


I wrapped my book in wax paper
Because you need your book in the case for glueing with weights, I wrapped and taped it in wax paper.
 Each side to each case has two glue steps.  Unfortunately, I didn't get good photos as it is difficult to tell what is what.  You slip the cardstock between the book cloth tabs and your book, then glue the tabs (two ends first then long side) on top.  The next step has you fold over the cardstock and glue on top so that the bookcloth tabs are sandwiched between cardstock.  Clear as mud?  They went together pretty well although there was a bit of gap with the book wrapped in the case.  I think if the cardstock were a scoasch (couple of millimeters) taller and wider it would be squarer.  As it is, the first side is flush with the cardstock and the other end had a bit of gap.  The cardstock fold needed a bit of give around the edges of the bookcloth too.
Here is the first section (center one) glued up

This is one of the outside sections with the first part glued (both steps above) to the bookcloth
